this was the first lawrence i read. i liked it so much more than 'sons and lovers', which i hated. 'st. mawr' has a lot of amazing stuff about the nature of existence, idealism, and good vs. evil. peep this: 'mankind, like a horse, ridden by a stranger, smooth faced, evil rider. evil himself, smooth faced and pseudo handsome, riding mankind past the dead snake, to the last break.' yikes.
'the man who died' is a supposition that jesus didn't actually die on the cross but instead was taken down ...more

Read in January, 2002
The Man Who Died was very interesting.
St. Mawr was as well, but only the second time I read it. The first time was for high school English class and I found the endless descriptive passages tedious to get through. Once you've read it, re-reading it is a pleasure because you speed through those parts.

so far so good. the first time i tried to read this "nouvelle" i was bored but now i'm interested. i think you should know though, i'm not reading the edition pictured. mine is very crumbly.

St. Mawr is not only one of my favorite DH Lawrence books, but one of my top 5 from the period. Who doesn't love a story about a girl and her horse, and how her man will never measure up to the steed? Me.

Two decent stories. The Man Who Died re-imagines Jesus' resurrection. The Jesus in this story is pretty pitiful. In fact, it's pretty safe to say I hated him.
